T-Pain, rapper and singer (September 30, 1984–present)
“I’m doing a cover album. I’m doing a cover album sans Auto-Tune, but it’s not the type of cover album people are thinking I’m going to do. I’m doing all classic rock and country songs. I’m doing ‘That’s Life’ by Frank Sinatra, doing ‘War Pigs,’ ‘Don’t Stop Believing,’ and ‘Tennessee Whiskey.’ I’m doing stuff like that. I’m not doing Keith Sweat songs like everybody assumes.” —T-Pain
